Bitcoin surpassed the symbolic barrier of $100,000 for the first time in December, and then reached its all-time high of $109,241.11 on January 20, just hours before Donald Trump took office in the United States. The Republicans campaigned on a pro-cryptocurrency platform, promising a second term that included the establishment of a national strategic reserve of Bitcoin, an idea that has since been adopted. However, a series of announcements regarding tariffs later created uncertainty in the financial markets. Despite not being directly affected by these tariffs, cryptocurrencies lost popularity due to their reputation for high volatility, as investors opted for safer assets like gold. The sector also faced setbacks this year with incidents such as the collapse of the cryptocurrency Libra, which was previously advocated by Argentine President Javier Milei, and a historic theft of $1.5 billion from the Bybit platform by hackers from North Korea. In early April, the value of Bitcoin fell below $75,000. Stefan Evera noted that Bitcoin began to recover in recent weeks, thanks to inflows into exchange-traded funds that track its performance.
